On Thursday, January 9, Canada allocated more than 300 million dollars for military aid to Ukraine.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Canada.
At the Ramstein-style meeting, the Minister of Defense of Canada, Bill Blair, confirmed that Canada will provide military aid to Ukraine in this amount.
“Ammunition remains one of Ukraine’s key priorities, so today’s announcement provides for the allocation of $200 million to the Czech initiative for the purchase and delivery of large-caliber ammunition to Ukraine,” the message reads.
Also, Canada will allocate 100 million dollars for the production of drones for Ukraine.
“The Minister of Defense also promised to allocate 100 million dollars for the “Danish model” of supporting the production of drones by the Ukrainian defense industry,” the department noted.
